Web site needed for teenage children of addicts

Not sure if this is the right place - would be pleased if somebody moved if so.

Can anyone recommend a reliable web site with forum that a young person could join if their only parent is a drug addict? I am worried about suggesting one that turns out to be a wacko job with full of false promises and veiled threats - so need one where a very vulnerable teenager can get support and advice to help her deal with a manipulative and grasping addict. Thanks

Families Anonymous has a very good website with a discussion forum, they also have meetings in some parts of the U K. Al-teen is more teen specific, and is more for the teen relatives of alcoholics. However, addictive behaviour is very similar, no matter if it's drugs, alcohol, gambling etc.
Hope this helps

You can get support for families affected by drugs at drugfam. Maybe call them in the first instance. www.drugfam.co.uk
